🧮 Formula Reference Sheet

SI         = (P × R × T) ÷ 100
CI         = P × (1 + R/100)^T − P
Amount (CI)= P × (1 + R/100)^T
Rule of 72 : Doubling time ≈ 72 ÷ R
CI−SI (2yr): P × (R/100)²
CI−SI (3yr): P × (R/100)² × (R/100 + 3)

⚡ Example per formula

SI = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

₹5000 × 8% × 3 yr / 100 = ₹1200

CI = P × (1 + R/100)^T − P

₹10000 × (1.10)² − 10000 = ₹2100

Amount (CI)= P × (1 + R/100)^T

₹10000 × (1.10)² = ₹12100

Rule of 72 : Doubling time ≈ 72 ÷ R

At 12% money doubles in 72/12 = 6 years

CI−SI (2yr): P × (R/100)²

₹5000 × (10/100)² = ₹50

CI−SI (3yr): P × (R/100)² × (R/100 + 3)

₹4000 × (0.1)² × 3.1 = ₹124

✏️ Worked Example

Find the simple interest on ₹6000 at 8% per annum for 3 years.

👁 Show step-by-step solution
SI = (6000 × 8 × 3) / 100
= 144000 / 100 = ₹1440

✅ Answer: ₹1440
